Creating music with motion and muscles

So far, we have looked at how we can use technologies for analysing muscle activity and human motion.

At the University of Oslo, we also research how it is possible to create music using various motion capture devices. In this video, you’ll see Mari play with the prototype instrument MuMYO. This instrument was developed by our former RITMO colleague Kristian Nymoen and is an example of a new interface for musical expression. The instrument is based on capturing both motion and muscle data from a Myo armband. Unfortunately, this armband is not commercially available any longer, but other products will hopefully soon appear on the market.
